Suspected militants detonated an explosive device at a girls' school in Shawa, a town in North Waziristan district, Pakistan. The attack occurred on Wednesday night at the Aafia Islamic Girls Model School, the only educational institution for girls in the area. Fortunately, no casualties were reported in the incident.
According to local police chief Amjad Wazir, the attackers targeted the school, where 150 girls were enrolled, causing significant damage to the structure. The insurgents also assaulted the school guard before fleeing the scene. While no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, it is believed to be the work of Islamic militants who oppose the education of women.
